I would absolutely wear that bee ring; there’s something tremendously appealing about the “movement” in the piece. Thanks for sharing.

I happened across a number of bee rings. This one stands out both for the stone and for the “movement,” as you so eloquently put it.

Apparently I like Art Nouveau. I may need to hit the Internet auctions 😉

Isn’t all so gorgeous? I’ve learned a lot doing the research for these posts, both in terms of history and in educating my eye about which pieces I like!

I’m especially drawn to the rose quartz – that is a gemstone you rarely see in any kind of jewelry, let alone art nouveau.

True. The leaf work on that ring is so precise and delicate.

Not a fan of bees or wasps so the idea of wearing jewelry inspired by it is odd to me – I didn’t realize that was even a thing. I think my favourite is the one with the opal and pearl.

Hi, Louise! I hear what you’re saying. I came across a number of spider-themed items. Ain’t no way anybody could get me to wear those!

Haha! Yes – that is it exactly. No issue with spiders here. But bees. Shudder.

Beautiful. Although I like rings, I don’t wear them because I find them uncomfortable.
Really really like the Georges Fouquet’s one 🙂

I know what you mean. I wear my wedding rings and a Viking dragon ring on my other hand. I can’t imagine wearing some of these huge cocktail rings.
